Are the 172 Cup and 182 Stub axle assemblies the same despite the cup not having the ABS sensor?

Bought a tidy 182 Full Fat as my daily as my other Clio will be off the road for a while or may never actually go back on the road. So here it is as it was advertised: Some may recognise the race car in the background. :)

I have one of these that came with the throttle bodies. Is it worth fitting? I don't understand how the fuel pressure is managed on the standard fuel rail so not sure what I am doing. Any tips? I meant Walbro by the way. Auto correct got one over on me and I can't change then thread title now!

I have fitted my front bumper with just two Aerocatches, one at either side. It seems secure but it sags down slightly in the middle and the gap under the headlight is obvious to me. I have no slam panel due to ITB's so was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to mount it more securely. The...

I would like a 3/4 front plate but feel £32.50 is a bit steep for a set of plain plates apart from the front being 84mm high. Anywhere else do custom sized plates? I can get a pair of standard sized plates for £10 delivered so cant bring myself to pay the extra for a small front one.

I have fitted my ITBs with 90mm trumpets and large filter so am having to replace the standard radiator. I have picked up a Polo one brand new from a local motor factors and will get a bracket made up to get this fitted. I am aware of the bigger golf one that people also use but wasn't sure if...

I have got my engine running tonight and got the ITB's installed and started setting them up. There seems to some issue with one of the cylinders backfiring. Can anyone tell me what is causing this and what I can do to fix it?

I now have a spare complete 172 engine that I am considering building up into something a little better than standard and swapping them out. Just using bolt on parts is there a guide or list of parts to give me an idea of what to use and price? It will be running ITB's so thinking Cams would...

I am breaking my 172 Cup for parts and was considering removing the whole front end away from the shell. Does anyone have any experience or tips on doing this? I was thinking that if I remove the subframe mounts, strut top mounts, brake pipes, exhaust manifold, steering column, electrics...

I bought a bog standard cheap battery isolator cut off. It hasn't arrived yet but does anyone know of a guide of the best route for the cables and T pull and how to mount the external pull and avoiding the wiper mechanism (other than going single wiper)? A So the wiring colours and best snip...

I have a Gen90 ECU I bought second hand but the seller sold the cable to someone else with the pro software and dongle. Now I can't install the ITB's and get it set up. Does anyone have a cable I could borrow or tell me what cable it is and where to get one from? Also I need to download the Gen...

I am going to fit a set if K-Tec ITB's and have the 60mm trumpets and 90mm trumpets. From what I am reading I think the 90mm will be better for me as I dont think the standard internals will let it rev high enough to make the most of the shorter trumpets. Firstly am I correct here as I am...

Show us your brake ducting. I have seen many threads with a few different opinions and solutions but it would be nice to have a thread showing what everyone has done for ideas, design, parts and suppliers.

I have been reading about the carbon canister as I didn't know what it was and have since realised it is for the fuel tank vent if I have read correctly. This got me thinking about the last time I filled up with fuel. There seemed to be a release of pressure when I opened the fuel cap. This is...

I a looking to get the ITB fitted in a month or so and the Gen 90 ECU. It should have a map of it suitable for my 172 but I want to get it custom mapped to make sure it is running at its best. Can most mappers Connect with the Gen 90? Where is recommended in the North? I presume RS Tuning is a...
